An injured southern ground hornbill at Artis Zoo in Amsterdam has received two 3D-printed prostheses to replace the broken upper and lower parts of its beak. And with great success. The bird was already using its new beak on the day of the surgery. “As far as is known, this is the first time in the world both parts of a bird’s beak have been restored in this way,” Artis said in a press statement on Thursday.
